In fact, only cookie *names* and *values* are sent with every HTTP request 
that applies to their “domain”, “path” and “secure” attributes, unless they 
have expired (as specified by the “expires” attribute in a former HTTP 
response header “Set-Cookie” field value or in the value assigned to the 
document.cookie property).

Still stored on the client machine.  Cookies are data (stored in local 
files) only whose *names* and *values* are incorporated into a HTTP request 
header “Cookie” field value.

Yes, it is.
